AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
744 PM EDT MON SEP 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT CROSSES TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. COOLER AND DRIER
AIRMASS TAKES CONTROL FOR THE SHORT WORK WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE HANGS
ON INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WAS A BIT FASTER LOWERING POPS AND REMOVING THUNDER.  BUT HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL.  LEFT THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS UNTIL THE FRONT ITSELF PASSES.
AT 23Z FRONT PASSING ZZV BUT STILL WEST OF ATHENS.  FIGURING THE
FRONT NEAR CRW AROUND 06Z TO 07Z.

HAD A SMALL CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/STORMS ANCHOR OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF
BUCHANAN COUNTY VIRGINIA PROMPTING US TO POST A FLASH FLOOD WARNING
IN THAT STEEP TERRAIN.

ALSO HAD ONE STORM PULSE UP IN NORTHERN PUTNAM COUNTY EAST OF
BUFFALO TO PROMPT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING.  NO REPORTS HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED AT THIS WRITING.

HARD TO FIGURE THE PREDAWN HOURS...IN TERMS OF CLOUD HEIGHTS VERSUS
GROUND FOG.  WENT A BIT MORE TOWARD LOW STRATUS AND NOT AS
WIDESPREAD OF THE GROUND BASED FOG.  THE LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY INCREASE
BY PREDAWN.  CAN SEE THE SCENARIO IN WHICH FOG TRIES TO FORM IN WAKE
OF FRONT BUT THEN BECOMES MORE LOWER CLOUDS BY 12Z TUESDAY.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LOWERING DEW POINTS ON TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NICE WEATHER FOR THE MOST PART IN THE SHORT-TERM PERIOD. AREA
REMAINS UNDER GENERAL NW FLOW ALOFT AS ELONGATED SFC HIGH PRESSURE
PUSHES IN...CENTERED ROUGHLY OVER MID-OHIO RIVER VALLEY. SKIES WILL
BE MOSTLY SUNNY FOR ALL WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 FOR THE
LOWLANDS...WITH LIGHT WINDS. PREVIOUS FCST HAD GOOD HANDLE ON
EXPECTED TEMPS WITH JUST A TWEAK HERE AND THERE PER LATEST GUIDANCE.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE TRANQUIL...WITH MINS DOWN INTO THE
MID/UPPER 50S LOWLANDS. WITH A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY AND LIGHT
WINDS...EXPECT THE USUAL RIVER VALLEY FOG LATE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY
THU MORNING.

THURSDAY...OVERALL IT SHOULD BE A RELATIVELY NICE DAY AGAIN.
HOWEVER...THINGS NOT QUITE SO CLEAR WITH REGARD TO THE FORECAST
REMAINING COMPLETELY DRY. LATEST GUIDANCE DIFFERING WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST. CONSENSUS
OF GUIDANCE DRAGS THE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY WITH ONLY
SOME CLOUDS. LATEST NAM12 HOWEVER DEPICTS A BIT MORE MOISTURE DEPTH
BETWEEN AROUND 750MB AND 925MB WITH PWATS BACK UP AROUND 1.25+. ALSO
WITH THE NAM COMES FAIRLY DECENT SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AS
IT PUSHES SOUTHWARD AND DECENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT OUT AHEAD OF
IT...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTH/NE ZONES. BIG QUESTION IT APPEARS
IS THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION PROGGED TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE AREA
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. GFS IS MUCH MORE BULLISH ON THE STABLE LAYER
ABOVE 750MB WHICH WOULD EFFECTIVELY KILL ANY PRECIP CHANCES. LATEST
NAM NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS STABLE LAYER. CAN/T REALLY GET
A FEEL FOR ANY TRENDS HOWEVER AT AND BEYOND 18Z THU WITH REGARD TO
THE NAM AS THAT TIME FRAME IS JUST COMING INTO THE PICTURE
OPERATIONALLY. ELECTED TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW
AND ALLOW THE NEXT SHIFT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. INHERITED MAX TEMPS
JUST A FEW DEGREES WARMER INTO THE LOWER 80S LOWLANDS ON TRACK.
THURSDAY NIGHT HIGH PRESSURE REBUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH
WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES BY LATE THU NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING. MIN TEMPS AGAIN IN THE MID/UPPER 50S STILL LOOK GOOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A CONTINUED QUIET EXTENDED PERIOD IS EXPECTED FOR THE AREA WITH A
NICE WEEKEND IN STORE. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE RECENTLY...THE AREA
REMAINS UNDER A GENERAL NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DURING THE PERIOD WITH
SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS FROM NW TO SE SIMULTANEOUSLY. MAX
TEMPS ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 LOWLANDS WILL SLOWLY WARM
TOWARDS THE MID 80S BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. EXTENDED NWP OUTPUT BEGINS
TO DIVERGE A BIT WITH RESPECT TO HANDLING THE UPPER HIGH ACROSS THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST BY SUNDAY...WITH THE EC KEEPING IT WEST WHILE THE
OP GFS TRIED TO EXPAND IT FURTHER EAST TOWARDS THE MID-MISS VALLEY.
GEFS MEAN/MEMBERS SUPPORT THE FURTHER-WEST SOLUTION AND THUS WILL
LEAN THE SUN-MON PERIOD FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION.  AS SUCH...STILL
APPEARS A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTHERN ZONES BY SUNDAY AND
WITH A FAIRLY DECENT AMOUNT OF LLVL MOISTURE AT BOTH 700MB AND 850MB
ACROSS THE NORTH...WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR
ROUGHLY THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WE KNOW IT ENDS WELL...BETWEEN 18Z TUESDAY TO 00Z WEDNESDAY AS THE 2
TO 4 THSD FT CU AND STRATOCUMULUS WILL BE LIFTING AND THINNING AS
SURFACE DEW POINTS LOWER AND VSBY UNRESTRICTED.

HOWEVER...IT IS THE TRANSITION IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THAT IS
HARD TO FIGURE FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO 12Z TUESDAY.

THE PREFRONTAL CONVECTION WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA AND
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA OVERNIGHT WITH A LINGERING LIGHT SHOWER STILL
POSSIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AT 12Z.

HARD TO DETERMINE IF LOW STRATUS WILL BECOME DOMINANT RATHER THAN
SURFACE BASED FOG IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. WAS LEANING MORE TOWARD
THE STRATUS AND A BIT LESS ON THE COVERAGE OF SURFACE BASED FOG
OVERNIGHT.  THERE EVEN COULD BE FOG AND SCUD IN WAKE OF THE FRONTAL
SHOWERS...THEN TRY TO IMPROVE BEFORE DAWN AND 12Z...AS LOW LEVEL
FLOW INCREASES FROM THE NORTHWEST.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THE COVERAGE OF
LOW STATUS CLOUDS VERSUS SURFACE BASED FOG WILL LIKELY VARY FROM THE
DETERMINISTIC TAFS.
